For almost two decades I have been involved in many aspects related to Plant-Molecular Farming. Some highlights include the pioneering of rapid and scalable Agrobacterium-mediated transient gene expression, application of surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy for the analysis of recombinant proteins produced in plants, and process-development for bringing tobacco-derived HIV antibody 2G12 into the clinic. Since 5 years I am CEO of my own consulting company that provides services to collaborators.
